Abstract

Kabuki syndrome is a rare multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation syndrome comprising a distinct facial appearance and fetal fingertip pads. We observed two patients with Kabuki syndrome and describe unusual life-threatening complications, including stenosis of the central airways (not previously reported), extrahepatic biliary atresia, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
